Match play
Didn’t realise that women were able to participate in this match play competition. In previous years it was or appeared to be exclusively for men. I’ve spoken to several female members who were also unaware. Were our female members advised that they were eligible? I don’t recall any announcements being made.
This is a new concept Kim and in line with the policies of GolfNSW regarding gender equity. I think we are the only club in NSW that allows members of either gender to play in such an event. Certainly in the past there have been separate male and female events.
This change follows along with the suite of changes I am endeavouring to bring to Jamberoo regarding gender equity. I have also developed a new par 67 Women’s Ambrose course so that males and females can play on an equal footing in these mixed events.
I am extremely busy at the moment and perhaps should have given more notice but it is a start at least.
I suggest you read the Daily Cow articles written on 12/5 and 13/5. Certainly Liz reads it and knew as she asked to qualify and did so.
Best regards,
Dave
